The former ICI site, three miles east of Middlesbrough with excellent rail, road and
sea links, is now owned by Impetus Remediation Ltd and is the only merchant landfill
in the country able to accept hazardous waste with elevated WAC limits.

Dr. Henry Clemmey, Group Managing Director of Woodford Global, said: \"One of the key
attributes of the Teesport site is their ability to accept non-WAC compliant
hazardous waste for direct landfilling. This clearly provides a limited window of
opportunity for the speedy and economic remediation of problematic sites that may
not otherwise be viable.

\"The area also benefits from excellent transport links via rail, road and sea which
makes the site an attractive and competitive waste management proposition,\" he
continued.
